Cast the unsigned return type of newKineticsFromXML to a signed type so that the
check on the Matlab side (which looks at the sign of the return value) can
detect and report errors.
Cherry-pick of trunk r2724.
This makes the default consistent with the documentation in the Python
module. Reported by & patch from Bryan Weber.
Fixes Issue 194.
Cherry-pick of trunk r2614.
Adding the attribute allow_discontinuities="true" to a phase's
'thermo' node (CTML) or adding 'allow_discontinuous_thermo' to a
phase's 'options' argument (CTI) will disable the automatic adjustment
of the provided polynomials so that enthalpy and entropy are
continuous at the midpoint temperature.
Cherry-pick of trunk r2590.
Since computing the residual norm effectively requires p**2, the
correct limit to avoid an overflow is sqrt(DBL_MAX), or roughly
exp(300).
This change fixes crashes due to SIGFPE in cases where floating point
exceptions have been enabled, and also fixes a few cases where the
solver did not previously converge.
In particular, this fixes paths for Linux distros that put Python modules in
'lib64/pythonX.Y/site-packages'.
Also fixes the reported installation path for the Python module on Windows.
Almost every class derived from SpeciesThermoInterpType used the same
implementation of the minTemp, maxTemp, refPressure, and speciesIndex,
so it makes more sense to just implement these in the base class.
This corrects the behavior in cases where the correct temperature is below the
nominal minimum temperature for the phase.
Add test cases for this and analogous cases for the maximum temperature and
setState_HPorUV.
Fixes Issue 151.
The failures were caused when attempting to restore the tolerance vectors, which
have a value for each species. Since these tolerances are usually the same for
all species, the last value in the array can be used to extend the array to the
required length.
Also add some tests for this feature.
Like IdealGasReactor, this formulation uses the temperature as a state variable
to improve performance for the common use case of reactors containing ideal gas
mixtures.
This formulation of the reactor governing equations, with temperature as a state
variable, works better for ideal gas mixtures. This way, most of the Jacobian
components are derivatives at constant temperature, eliminating the need to
recompute the temperature-dependent part of the rate expressions when computing
these entries.
Expanding the time derivative of the total internal energy only works for ideal
phases, so for the more general case it is necessary to keep the internal energy
as the state variable and use an iterative method for setting the state.
